The same reference characters designate corresponding parts of thedevice through out the various figures ofthe drawings; '1 represents thebase composed of two sectionsl and l v which are slidably o'r ad 210.justably connected by meansof bars '2 rigid as at 3, and slidably .en-

10 represents clamping arms pivotally connected, as at 11, the innerendsof which are swingingly secured in the forked brackets 6, by means ofrivets or bolts 12, while the outer ends are provided with tubularextensions 13. Slidably engaging the tubular extensions 13 are the rods14 which are tied together at theirouter ends bythe '50 cross-bars 15,thus formingwhat may be termed clamping handles for the opera tion ofthe device, and becauseof theirslid- 'ter,
